Stomping the Roses Lyrics

Wastin' time just going mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger
Did it occur to you
Ten years from then
He'd act the same age
I cannot carry on this way
Although I've carried all
Your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stompin' the roses
Smashing down all the feeling
Inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses

I'm skipping channels
On my television
And it made me feel unwell
One of those complicated soap operas
I almost felt like I was watching myself
I cannot carry on this way
Although I've carried all
Your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stompin' the roses
Smashing down all the feelings
Inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

I know, I know, I know
I know it's over, and I
I know, I know, I know
Always been your token nice guy
I know, I know, I know
Know that you rule your whole world
And thought I could live in it
But I just can't
You know you're stompin' the roses
Smashing out all the feeling
Inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

Stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling
Inside of them
It's bad business
The way you're stomping the roses
(Take it easy, yeah)
